I don't like fanny packs either, and hate that the Festival bag turns into one, but this one is definitely useful for dog walks (keys, phone, perhaps some dog treat, etc), especially in summer when wearing clothing without any pockets. I like that it's a minimal slim, flat shape. ...and I really couldn't care less if it has a Lulu symbol on it or not... I'm definitely not one of those people who care about that kind of thing... I don't buy things for the label or what brand they are...

I love the Pretty Lace Black and White Run All Day Backpack too, and am going to order it right after I'm finished here! I've been wanting one of these for day hikes.

I've seen people wear the lulu fanny packs as cross body bags with the bag on the back and they don't look too bad, but when worn around the waist I always think they look a bit silly. These ones remind me of those money/passport bags that tourists used to wear in the 80's.

I have a previous version of the "fanny pack" from a few years ago and get tons of use out of it when on long walks -- but I turn it around on my hips so the pack sits in the middle of my lower back. I love being able to stash my keys, cards/money, glasses, phone, etc. in there and free up my pockets and hands. My current bag is turquoise (it was the only color available at the time -- on markdown), so I'm definitely going to pick up this new black version, which will be much more versatile!

The fanny packs were selling out in the Northbrook Illinois store before the upload yesterday. I purchased one so I could think about it. It's got a lot of compartments, a light interior which I love. I'm going to keep it! The printed ones weren't as popular but the prints were pretty.

@lulubell - I just saw some screenshots - this seals the deal, we're definitely back in 2008! Check out my first posts from 2008. You'll see the invisible mannequin-type display of clothes they used to use before they had an e-commerce site.

I'm not seeing the new website either... so curious now... can't wait to see it!

I went ahead and ordered the Pretty Lace Black and White Run All Day Backpack. Super excited about it since I've been wanting one for a while now, when I saw this pretty print I knew I had to have it and now is the time to pull the trigger! Can't wait to get it and looking forward to using it for some fun day hikes this summer.

Still bummed that the new solid White TaTa Tamers didn't come in E cups sizes for Canada. I've been wanting a couple of plain white ones for ages to wear under my white and lighter coloured CRBs and my white Swiftly tops.

Oh good! Glad you got one too LuluAddict! Hope you find a reason to justify keeping it, it's such a pretty one. It would even work out as a gym bag if you don't have too much stuff that you need to take with you.

I checked out the fanny pack yesterday in store because I love small Lulu bags, and it's great EXCEPT that it has the same weird adjustable strap that all of their small bags have had lately, with the floppy end that tucks into a sort of belt loop. And I hate that strap. It's needlessly fussy, looks odd, and the buckle itself has some sharp edges that I could do without. If it weren't for the strap I would have bought it to wear cross-body as a small purse.

About Me

For 18 years I was an electrical engineer working in communications satellite system engineering. I've worked at Boeing, Booz, Allen & Hamilton, and General Electric. For the past ten years I've been a stay at home mom who keeps busy volunteering in my community and chauffeuring my three children to their activities. I live in Orange County, California.

The inaugural Sea Wheeze inspired me to take up running two years ago. I have completed ten half marathons and have three more scheduled for 2015. I mostly run these days but also go to the gym ~3-4 days a week for spin class, weight lifting, and cardio.

I discovered Lululemon six years ago and really liked the fit and performance of the clothes. I do check out other brands so if you would like me to review your product please contact me.
